Tania Pacheco

Tania L. Pacheco joined the Central Valley Health Policy Institute in the summer of
2009. She is a research analyst for projects that use the health “promotora” behavioral
intervention model. Tania is completing her doctoral studies in medical sociology
at University of California, San Francisco. She received a degree in sociology at
CSU, Fresno, while also attaining a minor in psychology, and the Cross-Cultural Competency and American
Humanics certifications. Prior to working with the institute, she worked on violence
prevention policy, partaking in the evaluation of the Alameda County Violence Prevention
Blueprint- a countywide public health approach to violence prevention. Tania was raised in the central valley and hopes that her work will contribute to the wellness
of her community.
